Write, restructure, or review documentation — tutorials, how-to guides, reference pages, concept/explanation docs, API references, READMEs, changelogs, release notes, and troubleshooting guides. Distills documentation craft from Mintlify's guides (compiled from technical writers at Stripe, GitHub, Amplitude, and Anaconda), the Diátaxis framework (including the compass and per-type voice), the Google and Microsoft style guides, Every Page Is Page One, Write the Docs, and Docs for Developers…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Writing documentation Documentation craft distilled for the moment of writing. The core stance: **people don't read docs for fun; they arrive with a goal — and they read at most ~20–28% of the words on a page** (NN/g). Every rule below serves getting the reader from arrival to accomplished goal with minimum friction — and the same properties that serve a skimming human serve an AI agent reading the page. Companion files, read on demand: - `templates.md` — page skeletons + quality bars for how-to, tutorial, reference, concept, README, changelog, release notes, and troubleshooting pages. - `mechanics.md` — mechanical enforcement (Vale, markdownlint, link checking, testing code examples) and the llms.txt format. ## 1. The seven principles that override default writing intuitions Writing docs is not writing prose. These override what generic "good writing" instincts would suggest: 1. **Verify before you document.** Never document behavior you haven't executed, observed, or read in the source. LLM-written docs fail here in characteristic ways: plausible flags that don't exist, documented _intent_ instead of actual …

How to install
mdr add skmtc/skmtc/docs-writing@sha256:4a9fdce355fe8419The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
